Improperly combined DropTest data
I noticed that on your recent edit to Template:DropTest/Hounded/1, you added data for some additional runs that you did, but you did not group your new entries together with your previous ones. When you are adding additional runs to a DropTest you already have data for you should group your data sets together through the use of parentheses, e.g. (run1 + run2) so that proper order of testers is maintained and we can easily see whose runs are whose - see Template:DropTest for more details. I've already corrected it for you this time, just keep an eye out in the future. SleepingDragon (talk) 15:46, 10 August 2016 (CDT)


 * OK great, thanks. This is my first time using a wiki, and it's not super obvious how to do things. I just tried to copy what others had done.  The Wiki help pages linked to on the left were very general.  How did you find  the http://startrektimelineswiki.com/wiki/Template:DropTest#Combining_data page?  Are there other instruction pages?  Thanks.


 * There can be a lot to take in when first editing a wiki! Learning by copying what others do is a pretty good strategy, but sometimes it just isn't enough, and unfortunately that particular page had another error that certainly didn't help. The link I gave you is for the general template the particular DropTest you edited is based on, and contains notes about how to use that template. When you're editing a page, there should be a list of templates that are being used on the page below the editing area. If you click on those, it will take you to that template. Most of the important ones have similar documentation that will help you use them properly, though the DropTest one is more detailed than most. Also note that you can sign your comments by typing ~, and it will be replaced by your name and a timestamp when you submit your edit. It's common practice to do so when leaving messages on Talk pages. SleepingDragon (talk) 07:51, 13 August 2016 (CDT)
